CDC Theatre named NJ Theatre of the Year by NJACT

CDC Theatre in Cranford Celebrates 100 Years with the NJACT’s Theatre of the Year Award and A Few Good Men.

CDC Theatre in Cranford is celebrating its 100th Season this year and has been honored by the NJ Association of Community Theatres, NJACT, with the New Jersey Community Theatre of the Year Award. Representing membership, current President Joe Leo accepted the honor on behalf of “Members who are here, those who cannot be here and the thousands of people over the years who have shared their energy and talent to make sure CDC Theatre continues as a performing arts institution; Nurturing Imagination Since 1919!”

The first show of the theatre’s centenary season will be A Few Good Men. Aaron Sorkin’s groundbreaking debut tells the story of a group of military lawyers assigned to defend two Marines in Guantanamo Bay. During the course of the trial, they uncover a high-level conspiracy designed to eliminate weaker soldiers in the name of patriotism. The production will run from October 19 – 27. Active military and veterans will be eligible for a special $15 ticket at the door with id.
